Thread: Shielding

Whats up guys! So i'm looking at buying a new Scag next week and am wondering if there is anything that I can put on it that will help protect it from the elements and preserve the paint. I know Fluid Film comes to mind, but does that really work? If so can I spray/paint it all over the mower? Is it bad to be near heat? I have heard of people spraying/painting under the deck with mixed results but I want something that will "coat" the entire mower and keep it looking as good as new with just a wash. Does something like this exist?

So I could just use a regular car wax solution? I know that sounds stupid but if it keeps it clean then I look better, save money, and the value on the mower is higher. I guess fluid film would just be under the deck. But does it work for that? I've heard PAM cooking spray and WD40 works just as well if not better.

I agree clean equip is nice to have. And definitly helps on resale.

I've never tried any coatings for the decks. I'm sure a search on here would come up with a million options and opinions. I just clean them by hand a couple times a week.
